Jackson said his water has been cut off, while another resident said the incident “explains the brown water coming out of my sink.”

By 9:45am, the water receded, but Webster Street north of Haight is still closed to traffic due to construction.

Public Works is managing an infrastructure improvement project in the area. The ongoing work is replacing water and sewer mains, upgrading traffic signals, and adding new curb ramps, bulb-outs and street surfaces. The work began in April 2015, but it’s not slated to wrap up until May 2018.

This isn’t the first time a mishap complicated life for residents and merchants in the Lower Haight; last month, noise complaints related to overnight construction work led District 5 Supervisor London Breed—who lives nearby—to complain to Public Works.
